Part of a long-term goal to more than double its current footprint of 7,000 stores in the United States, Dunkin’ Donuts is currently recruiting franchisees throughout North Carolina. There are currently 44 Dunkin’ stores in the state, but the company hopes to expand its presence in markets including Charlotte, Greensboro, Raleigh-Durham, Wilmington and Winston-Salem.
